"The game is still in balance. We will look to create pressure tomorrow and pick up some early wickets," Bumrah told reporters here.

"We wanted to keep things simple and build pressure as a unit. We wanted to build pressure from both ends, thinking if we dry up their runs they will have to make some opportunities.

"So we were just focusing on creating pressure. That was helping us and that was our basic game, he added.

South Africa reached 90/2 in their second innings after bowling out India in their first outing for 307 runs on the third day.

A.B. De Villiers and Dean Elgar put together an unbeaten partnership of 87 before bad light and rain disrupted majority of the post-tea session.
